Abstract

RapidStream, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to benchmark the performance of its RapidStream 8000 (Gigabit Ethernet) and RapidStream 6000 (Fast Ethernet) firewall/VPN security appliances. The Tolly Group subjected both devices to a battery of tests to determine bidirectional packet per second (pps) UDP packet throughput, bidirectional file-transfer application throughput and bidirectional UDP packet latency during maximum zero-loss utilization.
